Warranty is extremely limited, plumbers were not even allowed to check and see if there was settlement in our water heater, said that was our job to flush it regularly even thought I stressed that we had just bought this home

I have been happy with the policy and services for most of the time. The customer service agents are sometimes difficult to understand because they are not United States based.

I have three repairs/tuneups. The first to repair a fridge water spigot. It took over 2 months to fix. The hot water pipe repair was quick. Done within 4 days. The AC tuneup is scheduled for July 6th. Over four weeks from date I requested it

Quick initial response after appliance issue. However, problems were not correctly diagnosed or resolved for over a month. After a month a replacement was recommended but only one 'feature matched product' was offered and it was conveniently out of stock. All similar level items had an associated 'upgrade' charge and customer service was completely inflexible and unhelpful. I m still waiting for an appropriate replacement to be in stock.

Krista Flood Port Richey, FL

The plumbing contractor was looking for a big money job. He had a lot of good suggestions. However, what he said to me and what he wrote on the estimate were 2 very different things. AHS doesn't want to cover my systems because"its not normal wear and rear? That's highly subjective. And an excuse to not cover basic services. Very frustrated. The only good one was the rekey. Otherwise, Im wasting my time and hundreds of dollars.

"My request was submitted on May 12. Today is June 15 and I still have no resolution. I have been given the run around by ProTech Appliance. They have been full of excuses. After reaching out on June 14 to AHS I finally received an email with a repair date of June 23rd which is more than a month from the initial repair request. This has been a terrible experience. ProTech is located in Conroe over an hour away. There are many reputable appliance repair companies in Houston, TX alot more accessible to my area."

Refrigerator still not fixed, called home shield 3 times to ask why GE hasn't fixed it. Was told I would get a call back which I never did. Last call last week I was told GE didn't fix my frig but came to service my microwave which isn't true since I have a brand new microwave. So now there is an investigation but I'm not holding my breathe for a call back. I will be canceling my contract after this month.

NORBERTO GILBERT Temecula, CA

I had a horrible experience. I recently put a claim in for my whole house fan. It started great within two days A company by the name Jaeger came to check out fan. The guy looked at the fan for five minutes then said he would be in touch regarding the fan. He didn't say much more than that. About three days later I get an email from AHS warranty stating they WILL NOT COVER THIS ITEM. The whole reason I bought into this warranty was for things like this. The woman I spoke with said it was denied because of how the company Jaeger explained how the fan broke. Obviously I was upset since I didn't break the fan it wore down until it stopped working, hence the WARRANTY. the woman at AHS said I could get a second opinion but I would have to pay the deductible again. Horrible, a warranty needs to fix things that are covered regardless of how things were stated.

Toma Belizaire Capitol Heights, MD

I am not happy with how I am being treated by AHS and United Air Temp. I was charged $100 each for 2 service requests, one of them was to have a hard start capacitor put in, which cost me $175 that I had to pay out of pocket. The other $100 charge was for the service request I put in to get my hot water tank checked. The Air Temp person was scheduled to come out to my home to look at the hot water tank on 6/3/22, but they never showed up nor did I get a phone call. I ended calling AHS letting them know what happened and they rescheduled my appointment for 6/14/22, but the same thing happened, no call and no show. I don't understand why it is so difficult to get someone out to my house to look at my hot water tank. This whole process is not easy and I feel like I deserve my $200 back that I was charged when I initially put in the service requests.

Had an A/C compressor issue. Part A broke and caused part B to fail as well. Would only cover part A and not both. Let's just say I wasn't happy with their answer. Will more than likely cancel membership and save the 48.99/mo fee and put a little extra away to build up a household repair account.

My expectation was that having AHS warranty would save me major out if pocket costs on home repairs which is not the case. I'm practically buying a new ac unit that has been holding on with replacement parts and freon that is outdated, yet my home warranty doesn't cover it. I'm disappointed. Also given conflicting info about what is our isn't covered with the first saying she believes it will be fully covered, only to have a "manager" call to tell me all that isn't covered. Shameful and obviously saving money for AHS at the policy holders expense. I'm looking for a better home warranty company

1 month in February w/o hear before my heater was fixed. Days this June w/o AC and still waiting. I am a customer w/AHS for over 15 years. I will cancel my contract my also after service calls, my monthly contract goes up by at least 10%. I am paying now $90 monthly and each service call I pay $75. Customer Service folks are rude and nasty. The barely speak English and extremely hard to understand .. AHS orders parts for fixes with no ETA. They don't allow me to purchase parts myself and pay for myself. I am told that if I do they would not warranty the service. While most parts are available online

I had a plumbing issue, my floors were still not in after hurricane Ida. The company they sent out said AHS would not let them do anything because my floors were not in. They told me it was a problem with my toilet after I paid them $80 to run a clean out! In one week, my whole sewerage system was clogged. I had a broken pipe and had to have it dug out and replaced, costing me $8,500.00! I have been a customer of AHS for many years and have only used them a few times. I think their response about my problem was unwarranted.

I've had very mixed experiences. Some issues have been resolved very easily but with my air conditioning I was repeatedly sent incompetent contractors and charged me for multiple visits for the same issue. It actually took years to resolve and we went a whole summer without Air conditioning while my wife was sick and pregnant. I called many times and tried to escalate the issue and get reimbursed for all the charges but to no avail. When my contract expires I will be finding a new home warranty company

Coverage started late, wasn't available when I needed emergency service in my new home. Fight to get coverage to start LATE but it sure ended right at the date it wasn't active 1 year later. Difficult to get answers from overseas call centers. Overcharged, difficult to get refund. Appliance program was worthless as they had no brands I actually wanted to purchase.
